Detective Lt. Eddie Garcia uses the lift on a city-owned utility truck to remove one of several pairs of athletic shoes from overhead lines in a southwest Beeville neighborhood last week. Garcia said the Beeville Police Department has an idea who might have thrown the shoes, with their laces tied together, over power and phone lines, and when they are able to prove who did it, the violators could be fined. The detective said throwing shoes over utility lines is criminal mischief.
